    I don't even know why is this considered one of her best albums, even Joanne is better. First half sounds like basic recycled sounds from the 90s and early 10s. Second half gets better at least.

    It's so good I have never really experienced a Gaga album that is so cohesive. There are so many hits on this album

    Though this album wasn't all that great but there are some shining moments in her album. She could've done a bit more and maybe replaced 3-4 songs then it would've been a solid 8 for me.

    Chromatica now is in my top 4 of Lady Gaga's albums. Lady Gaga was able to show us that she is still in force in the music industry. She is a pop Queen!

    Ela conseguiu criar uma volta por cima em sua carreira. É algo que mostra quem ela é, com sua estética extravagante e futurística ou apocalíptico. Trouxe parcerias músicais esplêndidas com artistas de referência, mas também trouxe ritmos bem dançantes para nós. Ela fez bem nisso.

    Electro pop in her best way, Gaga gave us a masterpiece, and could be part of her Best albums

    This is an amazing album. All songs are of good quality. Gaga presented us a great dance pop album and supported it with interludes.

    Chromatica brings us a mature Gaga with firmer lyrics. The impeccable production brings the most refined air to songs with strong lyrics. It has some problems of continuity but it does not diminish the impeccable work that Gaga did in returning to the pop genre in such a well structured way.

    After Joanne, I kind of fell our of love with Gaga. Whilst I of course appreciated lots of the Joanne and A Star is Born work, overall, I missed dance-floor Gaga. Then Chromatica happened, and holy **** did it HAPPEN. This is the best pop record since, well, The Fame or Born This way. Apart from maybe 2 tracks that don't quite work, everything else is pop perfection. Dua Lipa, RinaAfter Joanne, I kind of fell our of love with Gaga.

    Sin duda uno de los peores álbumes del 2020, álbum desatinado e infame, da asco este álbum.
    Además de que Lady Gaga se volvió a colgar de Ariana Grande como lo hizo de Bradley

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album helps me dancing through my pains. Thank you Gaga xoxo
    What is completely new and different from the previous albums is that this album is linked through three interludes (Chromatica I, II, III). Besides, thanks to 3 melodious music tracks to introduce into the main songs, there were 3 phases for this album. If phase I are catchy dance songs, easy to listen to, suitable for market tastes, then in phase 2 is the test of difficult music lines. The bass, electric guitar clips go straight to the song, samples are borrowed from the songs of other artists and are re-engineered, creating a strange but equally attractive segment. Phase 3 is up-tempo-styled ballads. Ending the song with a tropical house and urban vogue style music is a smart ending.
    The lyrics also have something worth saying. It is more mature and older but still has its own Gaga character. I read Pitchfork's review and saw that they scored 7.3 for this album and complained that the album was too poor of lyrics. Not showing any special meaning or even nothing worth saying. That is completely wrong, because simply because this album alone utters two words "MENTAL ILLNESS", the words are not enough to describe, but the emotions put in are remarkable. Lady Gaga and I both have psychological problems, both of which carry PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). A trauma was too great for us to share the details of what happened to us with others to sympathize with. Because, if we do it, it will recur, we don't want to experience any more frustration, frustration, regret, or torture. The screams or the simple sobs in the songs are enough to describe how the disease itself eats up our minds.    … Expand

    Incrivel como a Lady Gaga conseguiu fazer musicas com letras tristes e sofridas de uma forma que todos pulem de alegria e comecem a dançar, é um album perfeito para tocar nas baladas, e também é perfeito para aprender as coreografias e dançar bastante, é um album que tem varios significados diferentes e que se virasse um filme iria ser um SUCESSO. esse álbum não tem nenhum erro por issoIncrivel como a Lady Gaga conseguiu fazer musicas com letras tristes e sofridas de uma forma que todos pulem de alegria e comecem a dançar, é um album perfeito para tocar nas baladas, e também é perfeito para aprender as coreografias e dançar bastante, é um album que tem varios significados diferentes e que se virasse um filme iria ser um SUCESSO. esse álbum não tem nenhum erro por isso merece um 1.0, minhas músicas favoritas são : Rain On Me / 911 / Stupid Love / Replay / Sine From Above.… Expand

    Lady Gaga's sixth album shows us her power in the industry and her voice as a woman, this is a competitive album, with a mix of good sounds, Rain On Me give you harmony, my review is mixed because it is not the best thing this artist has given us, however it is good, with a total of 8.5, with this album Gaga extends her name as the new queen of pop, eligible for AOTY.

    Dance Pop perfection. Well thought out concept with a meaning that is near and dear to Gaga’s heart. Deeply personal and sentimental lyrics over super danceable 80s synth pop + 90s house sound. Sign me up! Stream Chromatica

    At first I was overwhelmed by the production, not really my cup of tea I find that most songs sound like remixes because so much is happening in the production but some ongs are starting to grow on me

    The nostalgia in the production — a blend of crisp digital synth textures and ringing grooves drawn directly from '90s house music — further bolsters the shadowed euphoria of a song like "Sour Candy," in which Gaga is joined by the K-pop girl group Blackpink; "Sine from Above," featuring Elton John, gets a similar friction from the interplay between their voices.

    Chromatica’s frank grappling with the vagaries of Gaga’s brain – and the way fame exacerbates them – ends up feeling much more real than touring dive bars with a guitar and a Stetson ever did.
